It's started already: many councils' over-mowing of public grassy areas. Dandelions, celandines, clover - humming with life, lifelines for pollinators - mown down to lifeless, 'tidy' grass deserts. Who wants their council to give nature a chance instead?

Dear councils, If you manage small verges like this, they could be lifelines for pollinating insects next spring if you reduce mowing and don't spray them with weedkillers. You'll be saving bees and butterflies by saving time & money. Looks better too! 🐝

More than 4 out of 10 insect species face extinction. Others are declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers & trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More:

To help a grounded, struggling bumblebee - which is probably hungry and tired - place it on a nectar-rich flower. As last resort, if no flowers available, offer the bee a white sugar & water 50/50 mix. (Don’t offer honey as this can spread viruses) 🐝

Can we please have a shout out for hoverflies? These unsung heroes may not be as flamboyant as butterflies or as cute as bumblebees, but they’re important pollinators that also help control pests like aphids. How to help hoverflies and other pollinators:

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

Dear councils, If you don't overmow or spray roadverges and green corners this year, you'll get wildflowers like foxgloves - a lifeline for pollinating insects like bees. Biodiversity is better than non-essential 'neat & tidy'. Let's bring nature back 🐝

Please don’t mow or spray the dandelions. These wildflowers are often a lifeline for pollinators including bees, butterflies, hoverflies. They support over 50 insect species. Our little film shows the life in a small patch 🐝 More:

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝
